quadratic Posted October 7, 2009 at 04:45 AM Report Posted October 7, 2009 at 04:45 AM Hello. I just received a photo frame as a birthday gift, but I need help translating the characters on it. I checked the package to see if the meaning was anywhere to be found, and did an internet search for the brand too, but couldn't find any clues. (The person who gave me the gift doesn't know either). Does anyone here possibly know what this means? (I've attached a photo). Thank you for any help. Quote
semantic nuance Posted October 7, 2009 at 05:12 AM Report Posted October 7, 2009 at 05:12 AM Basically, 吉 means 'good', 祥 means 'peace', these two characters put together can mean 'good luck, good fortune'. You may check similar thread about 吉祥 here. Hope it helps! Quote
